  • Research E-Papers

    In 2014, the DAI restructured its report processes. Instead of a printed annual report, we now publish two separate, regular formats: our Research E-Papers and our Annual E-Reports. To ensure that our research reports are up to date, we publish Research E-Papers throughout the year in individual fascicles that are issued promptly with the respective research campaigns. These fascicles are available through open access as DAI wishes to share its research results with a wide audience. Our Research E-Papers are fully citable with ISSN and URN.
